Connector insert device for automatic switching of connector fixtures

Abstract

A connector insert device for automatic switching of connector fixture includes terminal fixing portions clipping a wire, a wire storage portion storing groups of wires, transferring portions configured to store the wire clipped by the terminal fixing portion in the wire storage portion through a conveying portion, a connector fixing portion storing connectors, and an insert portion inserting the groups of wires in the wire storage portion into the connector fixing portion through the conveying portion. Each terminal fixing portion includes a terminal fixing base, a terminal clipping base, and a terminal gripper. The terminal clipping base is rotatably connected with the terminal fixing base through a terminal connecting shaft. The terminal gripper is connected with the terminal clipping base. The terminal fixing portion rotates the wire to a predetermined angle. The transferring portions clip the wire and places the wire in the wire storage portion.

 wherein the wire storage portion comprises a wire feeding component; the wire feeding component comprises a first wire feeding system, a second wire feeding system, and a third wire feeding system; the third wire feeding system is arranged between the second wire feeding system and the conveying portion; the second wire feeding system is arranged between the first wire feeding system and the third wire feeding system; the first wire feeding system comprises a terminal groove configured to receive a corresponding terminal head; the first wire feeding system comprises a wire clipping groove configured to clip a corresponding terminal tail; the second wire feeding system and the third wire feeding system are configured to clip a corresponding wire; when the corresponding wire is released, the insert portion first clips the corresponding terminal head, then the first wire feeding system releases the terminal; the insert portion clips the corresponding terminal tail; the second wire feeding system and the third wire feeding system simultaneously release the corresponding wire, and the insert portion takes the corresponding wire away; 
 wherein the at least one transferring portion comprises a transferring base, a transferring motor, and a transferring bracket; the transferring base is fixedly connected with the transferring bracket; the transferring bracket is connected with the conveying portion and is movable along the conveying portion; the at least one transferring portion comprises a first transferring clipping component and a second transferring clipping component; the first transferring clipping component is arranged between the transferring clipping component and the wire storage portion; the first transferring clipping component is close to the second transferring clipping component; 
 wherein the first transferring clipping component comprises a first transferring gripper and a second transferring gripper; the first transferring gripper comprises a first transferring clipping boss; the second transferring gripper comprises a second transferring clipping boss; 
 wherein the second transferring clipping component comprises two third transferring grippers; the third transferring grippers have clipping surfaces; the first transferring clipping component is configured to clip a corresponding terminal head; the second transferring clipping component is configured to clip a corresponding terminal tail; 
 wherein the first transferring gripper is fixedly connected with the transferring base; the second transferring gripper is connected with the transferring base through a connecting shaft and is rotatable relative to the first transferring gripper through the connecting shaft; when the first transferring clipping boss moves away from the transferring bracket in a direction perpendicular to the transferring bracket and contacts the corresponding terminal, the second transferring gripper rotates clockwise from a first transferring starting position to a first predetermined transferring position; one end of the second transferring clipping boss facing the transferring base cooperates with the first transferring clipping boss to clip a corresponding terminal head. 
 
     
     
       2. The connector insert device for automatic switching of connector fixtures according to  claim 1 , wherein the terminal gripper comprises a first terminal gripper and a second terminal gripper; the first terminal gripper has a first terminal groove; the second terminal gripper has a second terminal groove corresponding to the first terminal groove; the second terminal groove is embeddable in the first terminal groove. 
     
     
       3. The connector insert device for automatic switching of connector fixtures according to  claim 1 , wherein two transferring portions are provided. 
     
     
       4.
